Robot subs with A-bombs

How does this sound?  A nuclear sub is fitted with several mini robot subs, each kitted with an A-bomb.  Launch the mini, have it travel a thousand miles to an enemy coastline and then blow itself up on the seabed, undetected.  The result is a killer tidal wave, triggered by a 10 to 100 megaton bomb.

Russia just launched the Belograd submarine.  This is one of its untested capabilities, the Poseidon AUV  (autonomous underwater vehicle).
